Study Plan and Steps for CXC Success

Step 1: Set Clear Study Goals


●​ Write down specific and realistic goals for each subject.
●​ Example: "Master trigonometry formulas for Mathematics," "Understand redox
reactions for Chemistry," etc.

Step 2: Assess Your Strengths and Weaknesses


●​ Identify which subjects and topics are easiest and most challenging for you.
●​ Prioritize more time for the challenging ones like Mathematics and Chemistry.

Step 3: Create a Rotated Study Schedule


Weekly Study Plan:
Day Subjects

Monday Chemistry, Spanish, IT

Tuesday Mathematics, Biology, History

Wednesday English A, Chemistry, IT

Thursday Mathematics, Biology, Spanish

Friday History, English B, Chemistry

Saturday Biology, Mathematics, English A

Sunday Spanish, IT, History

●​ Study each subject for 1-2 hours per session with breaks in between.
●​ Rotate subjects to keep things fresh and prevent burnout.

Step 4: Organize Study Materials


1.​ Gather your textbooks, notes, and past papers.
2.​ Organize them by subject into folders or binders.
3.​ Keep digital versions of notes and resources in Google Drive or similar platforms.
Step 5: Practice Past Papers
1.​ Dedicate at least one session per week to practicing past papers for each subject.
2.​ Time yourself to simulate exam conditions.
3.​ Review your answers using marking schemes.

Step 6: Seek Help When Needed


●​ Ask your teachers or classmates for clarification on topics you don’t understand.
●​ Use online resources like YouTube tutorials and educational websites.

Step 7: Digital Tool Setup


Setting Up Any.do for Your Study Schedule

Step 1: Download and Create an Account

●​ Download Any.do from the App Store/Play Store or access it on their website.
●​ Sign up with your email or Google account.

Step 2: Create Subject-Specific Lists

●​ Tap on the “+” button to create a list for each subject:


○​ Example: Math, Chemistry, Biology, etc.

Step 3: Add Study Tasks

●​ Under each subject list, add tasks based on your weekly study goals.
●​ For example:
○​ Math: Review trigonometry formulas.
○​ Biology: Memorize parts of the circulatory system.
○​ History: Read about the Barbados Rebellion.

Step 4: Set Reminders and Deadlines

●​ Tap on a task to add:


○​ A specific due date and time.
○​ Set a recurring reminder for weekly or daily tasks.
○​ Example:
■​ Study History every Monday at 4 PM.

Step 5: Use the Daily Planner Feature

●​ Open the “Plan My Day” tool in Any.do every morning to prioritize tasks.
●​ Drag and drop tasks to arrange your study day effectively.
Step 6: Enable Notifications

●​ Ensure notifications are turned on so you never miss a study session.

Step 8: Focused Study Techniques


1.​ Active Recall: Instead of rereading, try recalling information from memory (e.g., quiz
yourself).
2.​ Pomodoro Technique: Study for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and repeat. After
4 cycles, take a longer break.
3.​ Mind Mapping: Create visual maps for complex topics like history events or biology
systems.
4.​ Teach What You Learn: Explaining a concept to someone else helps solidify your
understanding.

Step 9: Self-Care and Motivation


1.​ Get 7-8 hours of sleep each night to stay focused.
2.​ Eat nutritious meals to fuel your brain.
3.​ Take short breaks during study sessions to recharge.
4.​ Reward yourself for completing study goals (e.g., a treat or favorite activity).
